Pleistos (died 431 BC) was an Epidaurian priest of Asclepius during the 5th century BC.

Biography
Pleistos was born in Epidaurus, Argolis, Greece, and he became a priest to Asclepius at the Sanctuary of Asclepius. He came to work for the priestess Chrysis and joined the Cult of Kosmos, and he agreed to watch over the Sanctuary for Chrysis and ensure that the priests there did not assist the mercenary Kassandra in her search for her long-lost mother, Myrrine. In 431 BC, he interrupted Kassandra's conversation with the priest Timoxenos out of suspicion that he was helping her, but Kassandra and Timoxenos claimed that Timoxenos was showing Kassandra to the healing temple. However, Pleistos did not believe their excuses, and he and his guards followed Timoxenos and Kassandra to the Olive Tree of Herakles, where they continued their conversation. Pleistos sent his guards to slay them, but Kassandra stayed behind to fight as Timoxenos fled. Kassandra proceeded to kill Pleistos and his guard Aniketos Manos, along with several other Cultists.
